ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Patients envenomed by Lonomia sp caterpillars initially experience a mild burning pain, headache, nausea, vomiting, and skin and mucosal hemorrhages. Some patients can rapidly progress to a severe coagulopathy that presents as visceral or intracerebral hemorrhaging. We studied the hemostatic alterations that occurred in 14 patients who were envenomed by Lonomia obliqua in Southern Brazil and presented at the Hospital São Vicente de Paulo (Passo Fundo, RS), Brazil during the summers of 1993 and 1994 when Lonomia antivenom was not yet available for treatment. The patients were classified into to 4 clinical groups: 0 (two patients), I (eight patients), II (two patients), and III (two patients). The patients were admitted to the hospital between 4 hours and five days after contact with the caterpillars. In this study, the coagulation parameters of the patients were followed up for up to 172 hours after the accidents. The patients received no treatment with the exceptions of two patients who received blood transfusions and antifibrinolytic treatment. The observed abnormalities related to blood coagulation and fibrinolytic factors were similar regardless of the severity of the bleeding symptoms. These findings suggest that alterations in hemostatic parameters without thrombocytopenia are not predictors of the seriousness of such accidents. Thus, consumptive disorder and reactive fibrinolysis are not proportional to mild coagulopathy. Furthermore, these patients recovered. The hemostatic parameters of most of the patients normalized between 96 and 120 h after the accident.

ABSTRACT

La insuficiencia renal crónica es la disminución progresiva de la tasa de filtrado glomerular secundario a pérdida irreversible de nefronas funcionantes, y como alternativa de tratamiento se tiene la hemodiálisis.La presente investigación es cuantitativa y cualitativa, de tipo descriptivo, transversal y retroprospectivo; demuestra el manejo de los accesos vasculares en hemodiálisis por parte del personal de salud en enfermería y pacientes. Se trabajo con una muestra de 176 pacientes y 17 Licenciadas de enfermería de dos instituciones de salud; Caja Nacional de salud y el Hospital Clínico Viedma en el año 2011.Se utilizó un cuestionario para los pacientes y el personal de salud, donde los resultados reflejaron que existe un déficit de conocimientos en cuanto al manejo de los accesos vasculares por parte del paciente y el personal de enfermería; lo cual se asocia con las complicaciones observadas. Se observó una mayor incidencia de infección causada por el mal uso por parte de los pacientes. Se constató los procedimientos mal realizados en accesos vasculares por el personal de salud en enfermería, con mayor incidencia en la institución de la Caja Nacional de Salud
